Those coloured lights underneath cars and the law
Discussion
Anything other than red shown to the rear or falshing amber (indicator) is an offence.
If the light can be seen from the rear underneath the car, then there is a technical offence.
You cannot show red to the front.
Static blue lights in Novaboy windscreen washers are not illegal and neither are the UV lights that are put in the front grills of some

Madcop - do the Police stop and fine Max Muppets for displaying incorrect lights or is just one of those offences that generally passes by?

It depends on how irritating they are when stopped. Most are usually polite and therefore get a warning or VDRS.
The occasional one acts like a bit of a 'Kevin' and gets a £30 reminder about the fact

Anyone know the policy/law regards those coloured lights that people have under their cra**y supped up vauxhall novas'?
cheers
If you are talking about these neon tubes, I was informed (not that I wanted them) by a car accessory shop that they were deemed illegal if you could see the tubes themselves but not if you could only see the light they omit.
I have also seen cars with blue LED's surrounding the exhaust tail pipe.....
I've only ever seen neon coming from under the nova/astra/205 - isn't this really dangerous? Don't neon lights have some kind of high voltage transformer which can cause massive probs is there's an oil or fuel leak?
I can just see all those plastic flare wings and wheel arches melting on Southend seafront.

But they aren't showing to the rear, they are illuminating the number plate. If theye were in someway damaged so that they were actually showing white light from the rear than that would be an offence.
